IMPROVEMENT IN MOLDS FOR ICE-CREAM, JELLIES, &c.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 141,882, dated August 19, 1873; application filed February 8, 1873.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, E. M. MAY, of Fond du Lac, in the county of Fond du Lac and State of Wisconsin, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Molds for Ices; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full,

clear, and exact description of the construc-- tion and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures'of reference marked thereon.

' Figure 1 of the drawings is a representation of a sectional view of my mold for ices. Fig. 2 is a top view of the same.

My invention relates to a device for mold ing ice-cream, water-ices, jellies, 850.; and it consists in a pair of cups or pans attached to two bars or levers, which are pivoted together and provided with thumb and finger loops like a pair of shears, so that the device may be readily operated by hand.

In the drawing, A A represent two bars or levers, pivoted together like a pair of shears, and having at their rear ends thumb and linger loops a a. Totheir front ends are riveted, soldered, or otherwise secured, pans or cups B B with their open portions facing each other. Each cup has a curved piece cut from one side, so that when they are closed together they resemble a round box with an opening,

1), in the periphery.

In using this mold, it is held by the thumb and fingers like a pair of shears. The pans are opened and dipped in the cream, or other vsubstance to be molded, taking up as much as cream into a cake, which may be turned out of the mold into a dish.

The cups may be made of cast or sheet metal, or any other suitable material, with their inner surfaces corrugated, carved, or ornamented in any desired manner.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In a mold for ices, 850., the cups B B attached to the pivoted bars A A, and provided with the filling-openings 12, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.
